Sorry if this is an known problem, but if anyone knows what might be the causes
of this problem, it's very much appreciated!

Platform:      IBM RS6000 running AIX 3.2.5
AFS version:   3.3

Problem:

A CD-ROM reader (/dev/rmt0) is mounted under directory /cdrom
A tar file (ABC.TAR) in the CD-ROM and the access path is /cdrom/ABC.TAR

When in the AFS filesystem where user has write permission, issuing the 
following command:

tar xpvfb /cdrom/ABC.TAR 20

will cause the following error messages:

tar: cannot change mode of file . to 1517 : Permission denied
tar: cannot change mode of file ./dirname/filea to 1517 : Permission denied
tar: cannot change mode of file ./dirname/fileb to 1517 : Permission denied
tar: cannot change mode of file . to 1517 : Permission denied

Am I missing something here?

Any help is very much appreciated!
